"My agent said, 'We've got to send this out', and I said, 'I frankly don't care, because I'm not going to have anything to do with it.' Although, I'd be a good Barton Talley." STEVE MARTIN has no interest in turning his new novel An Object of Beauty into a movie, despite the success of his last adaptation, Shopgirl.

Synopsis

A glimpse inside the lives of three very different people on diverse paths, but all in search of the same thing. Mirabelle is a "plain Jane" overseeing the rarely frequented glove counter at Saks Fifth Avenue in Beverly Hills. An artist struggling to keep up with even the minimum payment on her credit card and student loans, she keeps to herself until a rich, handsome fifty-something, Ray Porter, sweeps her off her feet. Simultaneously, Mirabelle is being pursued by Jeremy, a basic bachelor who's not quite as cultured and successful as Ray. When fate steps in, the outcome won't necessarily have a storybook ending, because in the end, it is life.
